[HTC Incredible S] swe_joey:
Hi, I've searched and read most threads about installing a different ROM, but I don't know which one could work for me

My phone is branded to "3" and I just want to unbrand it and get rid of the simlock so I can use another simcards as well

I have tried the AlphaRevX S-OFF guide but I only get "failed to get root" so no luck there, my phone is still S-ON

I have made a goldcard but which ROM can I use? What is the difference between them? I live in Sweden, can I use a European version or does the new ROM have to match the old in some way?

This is my first android phone and it's a lot to take in when trying to understand ROMs, rooting, S-OFF etc.

Pick the one that suits you from the Shipped ROM thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922

It should help to debrand, don't know about SIM unlock though

:mad: Hy guys, I need a little help, I instal NTD MIUI Rom and used for a month, but I desided to come back to Sense Roms,But unfortunaly I cant instal any sense rom.If someone had this plroblem and know how to fix it please help me.... Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] orangekid:
You need to flash a bigger CWM partition. You may have flashed a 150mb one to use MIUI, but if you're flashing via CWM try a 350mb partition first, then try to flash you Sense ROM.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
dup .
[HD2 General] unicoyo:
Going to try Thanks
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
You obviously haven't read the instructions properly.

Every rom explains what partition to use or supplies a file to do it for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiger_cz:
I have installed my S/MIME certificate into Social Hub application, however I cannot decrypt any message. Social Hub asks for more details about S/MIME. After pressing OK, it shows a progress bar, which goes all the way to the end. Then, nothing is shown (white blank screen, no subject, sender, body or error message).

I tried to remove/add certificate, but to no avail. I'm successfully using the same certificate in Outlook. There might be problem that it was issued by cacert.org and to get it working in Windows I had to install cacert's root certificate. However, I can't find this option in my SGS II. Is it even necessary? If so, could it be the problem I have? If so, how can I install root certificate?

[HTC Sensation] inzaneip:
unicoyo Thanks

I am going to try this, but I wanted to point out that I don't have the 3G/4G Plan from at&t, I have the old edge plan or media net plan--
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
Kind of defeats the purpose of having a top of the line 4G phone to be using it on EDGE doesnt it?????

:eek::eek:
[HTC Sensation] statuzz:
i was thinking the same thing, after att takes over..probably the new devices will have a wide 3g/4g spectrum, att has alway says that they need the aws from tmbile 1700/2100 :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
Seeing as inzaneip has a Fido (Canada) symbol, I would not be surprised if this "Sensation 4G" is actually the Bell Canada model that works full speed on AT&T.
[HTC Sensation] Darkakuma:
Another thing it consider is that if you do manage to get the HTC Sensation 4G (Bell/ Canadian Version) that has the 850/1900 Mhz bands, will ATT detect that you are using a smartphone and automatically give you the 30 dollar 2GB limited data plan which you cannot get rid of?

I currently use a Samsung Vibrant on ATT and only have a 15 dollar unlimited data plan. However the Vibrant has 850/2100 Mhz bands in which the 850 mhz is the onle that i use to get data. However, I feel that data fluctuates way too much from location to location. It jumps from edge to 3g to 4g back to edge within a block. Also, there are known reception issues with the Samsung Vibrant (kind of like the death grip on the iphone 4). I am also one of those people considering a HTC Sensation 4G (bell version) or the HTC Incredible S as a substitute IF ATT does not charge me the 30 dollar limited data plan.
[HTC Sensation] glitzbd:
Shouldn't happen

I got away with the dumbphone data plan for a long while on my Nexus One until Google gave AT&T the IMEI numbers and they realized I had a smartphone... So as long as AT&T doesn't recognize the IMEI it could be a Motorola V3c with some wicked data usage for all they know!
[HTC Sensation] Darkakuma:
Do you think ATT will recognize the Bell version of the Sensation because the HSDPA runs on the same bands and I think it was either Bell or Rogers that had some relation with ATT? Not sure if they gave ATT the IMEI numbers though...
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
The general pattern seems to be:

If your unlocked phone is a model NOT sold by AT&T in the USA, nor is it an iPhone or Nexus, then AT&T won't recognize it as a smartphone.

If it's a model also sold by AT&T, albeit from a Canadian carrier (e.g. a Bell Atrix or Rogers Infuse), there's some chance they might recognize it. The Sensation and the Incredible S are probably safe.

Also the TMo Vibrant has 1900 3G but not 850. It has poorer building penetration than 850, so it's not surprising that the 3G drops out a lot.
[HTC Sensation] Darkakuma:
That sounds pretty practical. I'm looking to buy an HTC phone that has both the 3g Bands for ATT. But with that vague merging between T-Mo and AT&T, not sure if it would really matter in the near future.
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
The merger should not affect compatibility of phones that today already work on AT&T 3G. Be aware the Bell Sensation does *not* have the T-Mobile AWS band if you were thinking you wanted something for both networks at once.
[HTC Sensation] Darkakuma:
Yea, I'm well aware of that. T-Mobile sucks around my house because I have a big tree in front. I'm only concerned about AT&T but thanks for the warning. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckeyser:
Good morning all, I have two seperate issues.

1. My USB is no longer being recognized by my Mac, so I can't unroot, thus making customer service a non-option.

2. Neither the manual 2.3.5 nor the OTA 2.3.5 will install to my device, resulting in the android with the exclamation mark screen.

My phone is rooted, not running a custom ROM, but running netarchy's kernel. The problem is that I can't update OTA because my phone is rooted and I can't unroot my phone because USB storage is no longer recognized. Thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uachi:
Use Wifi file explorer to acces sdcard
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckeyser:
To unroot?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
Hmm.... can you try flashing a different rom just to get usb access?

I had that problem once where usb could not get recognized on any computer, neither usb debugging. I actually got it fixed by Samsung, but I have a feeling your issue can be fixed.

So if flashing a custom rom gets you usb access, then you can easily unroot from there. If that doesnt work, try to flash a different kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckeyser:
Going to give custom rom access a shot. I may need a USB free unroot solution though, so that Samsung will fix it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
Yep, just try that and see.

If not, try a different kernel...

If that doesnt work, then you might need to contact samsung lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckeyser:
CM7 nightlies don't give me USB access, nor do different kernels. Going to nandroid and do a factory reset. Maybe then the OTA 2.3.5 will install and break root, allowing me to give Samsung an unrooted phone to repair.

**** me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
Well do you get the ota even though you are rooted? If so, idk if it will break root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckeyser:
I do, but when I restart to install, it freezes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SA-07:
Hmm... yeah, I'd say take it in for repair and see what's up.

[Thrive General] dalepl:
You do in deed have 14GB of space (the system uses the other 2GB), but additional space is allocated for other uses, so that is why you only show 9GB available in Windows. When you are on the devices settings, look at what the memory is being allocated for.

How do I switch to JVP?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carvax:
First, you need to read more jejeje.

(this is the radio version or "modem")

Baseband version

19000XXJVQ

(this is the kernel. I assume that is because you flash JVP root kernel to make you root in jvq)

Kernel version

....XXJVP...

(this is your android version 2.3.4 jvq compilation)

Build number

GINGERBREAD.XXJVQ

JVH, JVB, JVP, JVQ, JVR etc.... are diferents builds of android. theoretically the more new, it is because it has fewer errors.

Note: if you want to view kernel JVQ, just flash a jvq cf kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnockBack:
and which is the best and what is the difference? which is the newest?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
newest is jvr and it appears to be closest to a final release as far as I am concerned based on use of the earlier previous versions (jvh, jvo, jvp).

You will find less rom choice for jvr as it is just new: even fewer good kernel options -- over on the development section you will see new posts as developers issue new releases to match the new stock version available.

Many choices for jvq but the basic stock firmware is not as solid as jvr.

Check posters signatures and you can see what people are actually using: no one can say what will be the best for you, only what preference they have and why.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnockBack:
Ok thank you.

where can I find JVQ or JVR?

at least in poland
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
HD calls on Orange have been supported for like a year now....
[Galaxy S II General] wals1h:
hi maybe a noob question but how do you know your making a hd call is ther an app or does your network do it automatically?
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
gets done automatically - you will hear the difference :-D
[Galaxy S II General] hsncool:
just to clear things up for everyone....

to use HD Voice and for it to work....

1. BOTH phones used for the call MUST have "HD Voice" (this specification will ONLY be on the phones spec on the orange website)

2. BOTH phones MUST be orange branded!

2. BOTH phones MUST have 3G signal at the time of placing the call....

if these conditions are met, the call will be in hd voice, (similar audio quality to viber). if the 3g signal drops on either handset, call quality will be reduced to standard...

currently, it only works with orange, its done with an enhanced version of the regular audio codec used for calls, which at the moment, is only implemented orange branded firmware on some handsets (although, its not just limited to android, it's actually a technology developed by nokia, and is on loads of phones, has been for years, on a variety of platforms!)

no1 else seemed to care much for HD voice, but recently, sprint in the USA started implementing it too, which should kickstart a trend, and in a couple of years, it might be more of a common thing.... x

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
Hi,

I intended to buy a SGT 10.1 but this morning at the shop I noticed that it had the Touchwiz UI. This represents a problem for me because I like the look and feel of the stock Android, and brings concerns about future updates because from my experience models with custom UIs take longer to update than those with the stock UI.

My question is, can you remove the Touchwiz UI while still keeping the ROM the device comes with? Also, if you can't: can you install a stock ROM where everything works?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
Yes just flash a stock rom after you root

Plus they come stock
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandavid100:
Hi gtuansdiamm, thanks for your reply.

Can you point me to any stock roms here on XDA? The ones I've seen seem to be "stock" as in "the one that comes preinstalled", as in "the one with Touchwiz". I hope I'm wrong with that one.

Also, are stock roms for the 10.1 fully functional? Or is there any downside to them?

[EVO 4G General] iiiiaann:
So I've been messing around with my phone for a while now, and with the new OTA update not allowing root (I didn't take it but a lot of people have) I would really like to get involved in the process of rooting. I know a decent amount of C/C++ and I'm gonna be learning java very shortly, but I'm pretty proficient on a computer and pick up on things very quickly, but i really can't seem to find anywhere to learn more about how root exploits are found and how they work. I've got time to dedicate to this and I'm really interested in helping root the new OTA update, and in the future building a custom ROM, but I just don't know where to begin. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it, and if any devs out there with previous root experience or really any android dev experience see this please shoot me a PM, id love to talk and learn more about it, and i think i could really help out in the future.

[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
For my 400th post I decided to share something alot of people wanted working on the Sensation. This simple batch file will replace the GTalk you currently have with one that works with video chat on the Sensation. In addition, the version it installs works with the option to use it while not connected to Wifi (Take that T-mobile !)

Thanks to all those who tried it out **we have weeded out what works and what doesn't**

====================================================

EDiT

====================================================

The best method that works for me is "Root Talk Installer"

I have take the liberty of uploading it here for you all :)

It includes the GoogleFramework apk that GTalk w/video needs to work

without video/audio problems.

====================================================

After installing be sure to click yourself in Gtalk and select "Allow video and voice chats"

Enjoy !
[HTC Sensation] PdtS:
Doesn't work.

Even after pushing .so and .apk files manually.

UPD: Worked after adjusting permissions and rebooting!
[HTC Sensation] Christopher3712:
Good stuff!

[HTC Sensation] Mystik:
OP seemed to forget the "adb root" command before trying to remount the partition as rw.

but adding "adb root" to the start of the script results in the following response from the server:

"adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

.... ಠ_ಠ
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Adjust permissions of the files after pushing to match the files nearby.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
OK, so I replaced the .so file and the Talk app in /system/lib/ and /system/app/ with Root Explorer...and I can't see the Talk app, either in my app drawer or in the Settings menu. It's definitely in the /system/app/ directory, but there's nothing else for it. It doesn't install like a normal sideloaded apk; it comes up with Application not installed.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Gonna try Phateless' solution with the permissions :)

EDIT: Well...I have a little video icon at the top near my email...and I have video notifications and video chat menu in the Settings menu of the app...it's looking good ;)
